What are you using as a snmp poller?  Some pollers are not very 
efficient in the way that they collect and write information to rrd 
files.  Also, I've seen users setup RRD files with redundant 
information, which means you may be writing the same data multiple times.

If you know that the collection and writing of data is about as 
efficient as possible, then my advice would be to get faster disks and 
use hardware RAID.
